Thats not enough light. I would be lowering the lights, raising the plants up, cranking the lights up,,, something.

Got pictures of the lables/tags on those lights. Doubt they are true 150/400 watt lights. If that one was a true 400w light you could grow both plants off that one light.

This is a HLG 100 V2 4000K and it's a 95w light. I have one in each tent and all they do are seedlings. Would never do a full grow with these lights. From sprout to two weeks old or so. Then the real lights get turned on and the grow is a go.

I tell new growers to get a 2 oz. syringe and water there seedlings 1 oz. each every other day for a week then go to two oz. every 2 to 3 days for a week or so more. Transplant if needed into their permanent pots. Then go to a quart every few days and scale it up as the grow progresses. I don't lift pots and screw with that stuff at all. And I don't let them dry back till they wilt or drop their leaves down. Never pay any attention to the top of the soil. It always drys out fast and means nothing. Keep a table fork around to break up the dry soil, crumble it up with my hands and water. I put my seeds in clear solo cups in the pots they are going to spend their lives in and transplant fast and easy. I've been using Gaia Green as my fert for a couple of years now and used other dry amendments before I retired from work. So while the plants are in the solo cups I water in the rest of the pot to get my dry ferts activated and growing before transplant. I do things different than many growers. I've grown every way known to man. And all my years of growing has taught me you can't have to much light, environment, environment, modern weed sucks and Keep It Simple Stupid ( KISS ).

7 days old.

14 days old, transplant and put on normal lights. Left plant had some light stress.

Transplanted and PPFD set under proper grow lights.

Sorry that's not a 600w light. It may consume 600w. But it's a giant lie. Made in China explains it. This is one of many true 600w plus grow lights on the market. And there not cheap.
